since you already have the HTML you want, you're more than halfway
there.  Just set $WikiPageCreateFmt in your config.php like so:

$WikiPageCreateFmt = "<span class='createlinkA'>\$LinkText</span><a class='createlink' href='\$PageUrl?action=edit' title='Use this link to create the page \"\$PageName\"'>[Create]</a>";
